Hello, Are there any Subaru dealers located in the Cleveland area that can be recommend for servicing my 97' Outback? I need a tuneup and replace the cam and/or crankshaft seals. Thanks in advance for any replies, STL808

Hello, I just joined this forum and I wanted to say hello. Also, I have a common Subaru problem - oil leaks. Both my wife and I have/had '97 Outback Wagons. Last year around 90,000 miles my wife's Outback went in for a tune up. The dealer called up "Oh boy, do you have problems..." To make a long story short, every oil seal was bad and needed to be replaced and to replace any Subaru oil seal you must drop to engine. So the dealer said it would be cheaper to replace all the seals at once to save on the cost of dropping the motor. The total cost $4,000. Needless to say I was shocked. I was wasn't going to do the repairs, but the dealer said that would be bad and you could mess up the engine, could strand your wife etc., etc. So was I taken for a ride? I tend to think so. (We have since traded her Subaru in for a Toyota, sorry) Now comes my current problem, my Subaru is at 90,000 and I have noticed that it is leaking at the cam seals. What is a reasonable cost to fix the leak, replace the belt, etc. I live in Cleveland, Ohio. "My" Subaru dealer is "highly' rated by SOA, or so it says on their showroom wall. Can I be looking at another $4,000? Thanks in advance for any replies. STL808
